Engagement Photos - Not From the Best Source Yet

The weekend started out Fabulous. I came home to a lovely bunch of flowers from Mike, which is a rarity. Mike and I had plans to grab a drink at a Mexican restaurant (Maudies on South Lamar} and then take some food to go so we could watch the new Friday the 13th. This was romantic because the first time we hung out we watched Friday the 13th together.

On Saturday Mike's parents and brother came into town. We had plans to go to Hudsons on the Bend, to celebrate my birthday, his brothers birthday and Father's day. Turned out to be even more of a celebration. After dinner, Mike proposed to me in the herb garden in the back. It was beyond adorable and a moment I will remember forever. Unfortunately, my camera did not get pictures of this event, because I was very involved in the whole proposal part. Mike's parents, or shall I say my soon to be parents, took some photos but I have not received any yet. Hint Hint? hahah.

We did however get a shot of us at a bar we went to later that evening with my camera, after toasting to our engagement at home. Unfortunately the picture taker, Mike's brother, had no idea the video setting was on and just took 5 second videos instead of photos. I can't figure out how to get a single frame out of them to take in a picture, but oh well. Here is the one picture we did get together below. I wish the ring would have been showing, but fortunately I was able to take more.

Here are my hands on top of Mike's to show off the ring. This was night of. The ring was not positioned ideally, so I took a picture of the ring close up tonight, just for you :-)
Now you can see the ring close up. Again, it is set with white topaz, because Mike knew I did not want a diamond (due to many people dying for them, which I don't like), and encased in white gold. I am pretty sure I used the wrong terminology, but forgive me, I never took lessons on being a girl.

When I get more pictures I will post them here. I am thinking Mike and I might have to dress up again and re-enact a few because the camera situation did not work out quite as I had hoped so far. Hopefully the future in-laws will have some good ones :-)

I should have some more pictures posted up tomorrow, as well as a short review of the Wii AE Sports Action game I did. Have a good night!
